Air brush experience
I have been using Badger 200 and Badger 150 air brushes for many years. The 200 is a single action and gets a lot of use. It is getting worn out from taking it apart to clean it. My son Neil uses the 200 and is happy with it, having gone through several. Scott Mason thinks the Iwata Eclipse is better (he used to represent them) There is a big price difference. Does anoyne have experience with both and if so what is your opinion?
Visitors to the TSR
Some foreign power made it's way across the TSR system today. So I grabbed a few quick shots with my iphone,
Crossing onto the interchange track in Fairport
Passing through Essex yard
Entering Norwich
New smaller layout
Just found out I don't have as much space as I thought. This is the resulting plan.
goop
This weekend I tried out using some of the goop mixture used by Mike Confalone and Lou Sassi and others. I made it using Mike's method of just Celluclay, latex paint and water. It worked very well and resulted in minimal mess.
The "White Mountains":
Goop applied. The vertical faces will have rocks added so no goop applied there:

West End Progress
Construction progress on the West End has made some strides this past week. Most of the sub-roadbed is down. Luan salvaged from the old railroad wa installed on risers with cork roadbed and cork squares from a local craft shop. This will deaden the noise and serve as a base for track laying.
What's on Your Workbench #2
It's been a little over a week and half since I started the first "What's on Your Workbench". I see it's had over 1200 views and a few participants. Lets see what happens this week. I'll give it another try. Don't be shy. Remember you may be teaching or giving inspiration to another modeler.
So I'll begin in the next post.

Walthers 4-way Hanging Traffic Light - 4 seperate signal heads or one casting?
Dear MRHers,
Quick question for the brains-trust,
If anyone has used the Walthers HO 4-way Hanging Traffic Light,
http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-2305
do we know if the 4x R/Y/G light heads are all in one molding,
or
are they 4x seperate castings which can be split and re-deployed individually?
Thanks to all,
Happy Modelling,
Aim to Improve,
Prof Klyzlr
